Fecha de publicación: | jun-2021 | Editor: | John Wiley & Sons | Citación: | Aquatic Conservation - Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems 31(6): 1334-1345 (2021) | Resumen: | A high percentage of marine animals produce bioactive compounds that may play a leading role in the discovery of future compounds and drugs of marine origin. However, commercial fishing and other human activities leading to sea warming and pollution may affect these marine animals, even putting them in danger of extinction. To date, no comprehensive studies have evaluated the conservation status of Mediterranean species with bioactive potential, which is crucial to better understanding of how these species cope with the impacts of human activity. The study reviewed the bioactive potential and vulnerability of 833 fish and macro-invertebrate species inhabiting the marine protected area of Cap de Creus and surrounding areas. The most active taxa found were Porifera (49 out of 59 species; 83.0%) and Tunicata (17 out of 27 species; 63.0%). The most vulnerable species were Chondrichthyes (eight out of nine species) and Porifera (nine out of 12 species), which together account for over 75% of species classified as such. Results emphasize the need to introduce specific management measures that protect vulnerable species with bioactive potential as this is a valuable component of marine ecosystems, as well as a potential source of molecules with pharmacological properties beneficial for human health. Marine protected areas can contribute to preserving marine species of medical interest and achieving their sustainable use in the marine biotechnology industry | Descripción: | 12 pages, 4 figures, 4 tables, supporting information https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.3498 | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.3498 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/343130 | DOI: | 10.1002/aqc.3498 | ISSN: | 1052-7613 | E-ISSN: | 1099-0755 |
